FMEE is currently recognized as one of the excellent oil and wax removal surfactants

What are the characteristics of FMEE
Fatty acid methyl ester has a similar molecular structure to oil and wax, FMEE is the best surfactant for oil and wax removal among various surfactants according to the mechanism of similar solubility. In non-ionic surfactants, the oil removal ability is 1.5 times that of fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether and 2.5 times that of triethanolamine oleic acid soap. Regarding wax removal, the removal ability of FMEE is 1.6 times that of fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether and 1.4 times that of triethanolamine oleic acid soap.
FMEE is currently recognized as one of the excellent oil and wax removal surfactants. FMEE has been fully utilized in the following areas:
1. FMEE is formulated into metal degreasing and wax removal agent
It can replace chlorinated solvents such as trichloroethylene used in traditional processes. Because trichloroethylene is toxic and long-term use causes significant environmental and worker damage, the REACH Act will include trichloroethylene products in the restricted substances and stipulates that products exported to the EU are prohibited from using trichloroethylene. On the other hand, the rising price of trichloroethylene has also promoted the wide application of fatty acid methyl ester ethoxide (FMEE) in this field.
2. Paper deinking agent prepared by FMEE
The primary function of the pulp deinking agent is to destroy the binding force of ink on paper fiber so that the ink is stripped from the thread and dispersed in water. FMEE deinking agents have high emulsification power and efficient dispersion ability, which can completely separate ink and pulp. Historically, deinking agents were prepared with emulsifiers, including the AEO series and OP (TX, NP) series as raw materials, which also had good emulsification power but poor dispersion ability. Therefore, the comprehensive performance of a deinking agent could be better.
3. Oil removal scouring agent for knitted fabrics and chemical fiber fabrics prepared by FMEE
Textiles produced by knitting are often accompanied by a layer of oil on the surface, which needs to be cleaned with a surfactant with excellent oil removal performance before dying. For chemical fiber fabrics, there is also a large number of textile lubricants, and it is also necessary to remove the oil before dyeing. The surfactants used for oil removal in the textile field are mainly alcohol ether series, which need more oil removal and better gross efficiency uniformity. FMEE's emulsification and excellent dispersion performance can remove oil and prevent oil stains on the fabric's surface to obtain the uniformity of the repulsive effect. FMEE's excellent dispersion performance relatively improves the cleaning of the material.
4. FMEE cotton fiber dewaxing agent
Many cotton fibers have a lot of hydrophobic cotton wax, and not thoroughly cleaned before printing and dyeing will lead to the fabric in the wetting process of wax silk; the remaining wax significantly impacts subsequent dyeing. For cotton wax removal, benzene solvents are commonly used to remove wax; benzene solvents volatilize at high temperatures, producing harmful substances that are incredibly harmful to the human body, especially male workers, resulting in severe physical damage; FMEE is an environmentally friendly and efficient alternative raw material for xylene and toluene wax remover.
